I wouldn’t hate the prequels at all if they weren’t part of the reason for the constant changes to the OT, however. At worst, I’d probably be indifferent to them.
This. The constant addition of the worst Prequel elements into the movies I love and the suppression of the original cuts had added to my Prequel hate. There are plenty of mediocre CGI heavy sci-fi movies out there and that’s all the PT is really.
